What is cloud computing?

Cloud Computing: Digital revolution

 

Cloud computing is a technology that stores, manages, and processes data over the Internet. Unlike before, where you had to build your own servers and data centers, cloud computing makes it possible to borrow the necessary IT resources from other companies' servers through the Internet.

Key concepts of cloud computing

1.  Service model:

• IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service):  Provides virtualized hardware resources, and users manage the operating system or software stack.
• PaaS (Platform as a Service):  Developers use a platform to build and deploy applications, and the hardware and operating system are managed by a cloud provider.
• SaaS (Software as a Service):  A complete software application delivered over the Internet, with little or no management or maintenance of the application by the user.

2.  Deployment model:

• Public Cloud : Cloud infrastructure shared by  multiple users, such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.
• Private Cloud:  A cloud infrastructure built for a specific business or organization, typically located in an internal data center.
• Hybrid Cloud:  Uses a combination of public and private clouds; sensitive data is managed in the private cloud and the rest is processed in the public cloud.

Main features

• Flexibility and scalability: Cloud computing provides the flexibility to increase or decrease resources as needed. This means businesses can easily adapt their IT infrastructure to meet demand.
• Cost savings: When the costs of maintaining your own servers and data centers are high, using the cloud can help you reduce these costs.
• Ease of Access: You can access your data and work on the cloud from anywhere with an internet connection.
• Reliability and Availability:  Major cloud providers have globally distributed data centers, providing high availability.
• Automation and ease of management:  Cloud services provide automation and management capabilities through APIs to simplify operation and management.
• Innovation and rapid time to market:  Provides the opportunity to quickly develop and bring new services or applications to market.

Benefits and challenges of cloud computing 

Advantage:

• Increased efficiency: The cloud allows you to quickly access and use resources, improving work efficiency.
• Data backup and restoration: Cloud provides reliable data backup and restoration solutions to minimize the risk of data loss.

Challenge:

• Security and Privacy: Due to the massive amount of data stored in the cloud, there are security and privacy concerns.
• Dependency and Availability: Outages or increased dependencies on cloud services can result in business interruption.

Prospects

Cloud computing is developing further, and with the introduction of 5G technology, faster and more stable services are expected to be provided. Additionally, improvements in security and performance are expected to make businesses trust the cloud more.

Cloud computing has become a key element of modern business and technology ecosystems and is expected to play a key role in the coming digital revolution by providing high levels of availability, flexibility, and reliability. In the next article, we will look at the benefits provided by collaboration between big data and cloud computing.
